Hi my LO (little one) has two bottles of 8 ounces 1 on a morning around 8am and one at 8pm before bed. He has breakfast - porridge or weetabix with fruit purée after his morning milk, lunch - meal such as Ella’s kitchen pouch stage 2 or similar with fruit and tea time the same but a different type of food and a yogurt.

Hi, we have 3x7oz bottles a day (mid morning, mid afternoon and bedtime) plus breakfast (1xwheetabix or equivalent volume of porridge, ready brek, sometimes banana), 2 course lunch and I use the small weaning tubs which I think are 70ml one for main and one for dessert of fruit, same for dinner. He doesn’t really have set snacks but sometimes give finger foods to keep him occupied. Had the HV (Health Visitor) today and asked about volumes needed and she said they should have 20oz of milk, 3 meals with 2 courses lunch and dinner as well as morning and afternoon snacks!! We would be forever eating haha! Hope that’s helps x

Thanks so much appreciate it,
It’s constant eating
That is too much for my boys
I’m giving 5 bottles of 5/6 ounces they manage half weetabix and one tablespoon of food for lunch and dinner
Any advice on how I can make them increase the portion?

The 1030pm feed is a dreamfeed

I’m definitely no expert (winging it here!) but based on what HV (Health Visitor) said today, maybe drop the milk volume a bit and increase the food instead? Al babies are so different though I wouldn’t worry. You could check in with your HV (Health Visitor) who could give specific advice for your babies x
